Still on display at Otterburn Mill are the restored 19th century water turbines and Europe’s only remaining tenterhooks, which were used for stretching and drying newly woven cloth and from which the phrase ‘on tenterhooks’ was derived.

On the birth of Princess Elizabeth in 1926 Buckingham Palace contacted Otterburn Mill requesting a small rug to be made to fit the royal pram. This was the beginning of the now famous Otterburn Pram and Cot Rugs. Made from 100% pure new wool, the soft and luxurious texture of the Otterburn Baby Rugs makes them the perfect gift for a new baby.
